German doctor Erika Schwartz reported that there are some myths and misconceptions about the immune system, and how to strengthen it to carry out its tasks in dealing with viruses, and other pathogens .. Here are three of the most prominent of these myths, according to the German doctor:
There is no need for vaccination
Many believe that they do not need to be vaccinated because they are in good health and their bodies are strong enough to fight bacteria or viruses, but the truth is that in order to build the immune system the body must get sick first.
Too much vitamins boost immunity immediately
Vitamins certainly work to boost the immune system, but not in this way. It is best to supply the body with appropriate, protective, regular and "natural" doses of vitamins to build and strengthen the immune system.
The immune system in the eye, nose and throat
This belief is wrong, because the immune system covers the entire body, and this also applies to areas such as the skin, lymph nodes, and blood, especially the intestine, as bacteria in the intestine interact with the immune system so that diseases that infiltrate the body can be combated.
